Sticky Fingers Chicken

Sunday, December 13

My birthday this year happened to fall on the same weekend as my in-laws joint 60th birthday party, down on the South Shore in Plymouth, MA. Stevie and I decided to make a weekend of it, left the kids at home with a babysitter, took the boat with us, and decided we would sleep on in a rented slip, at one of the local marinas.

What was supposed to be our big celebratory weekend out, got really soggy, quick. The worst rain of the summer happened to start right as we were launching our boat in to Plymouth Harbor. Luckily we were able to navigate in the rain over to the marina once we had launched without any mishaps.

We then hitched a ride with my father in law over to their home, just a few blocks up from the harbor. Stevie and I strolled in to the party (hosted out back under a tent made out of boat sails. It was pretty nifty)... I was in a bit of a mood at this point... but then my sister in law brought out this chicken she made, that rocked my world and changed mood completely. That's how good it was. Of course I had to get her recipe asap.

She said she just uses equal parts soy sauce to sugars and then braised the chicken legs at low heat for hours and hours. We've since made several versions of her chicken almost every week since August, and we can not get enough of it. This is one of the few ways you will ever see me eat something off a bone.

(Inspired by Shannon's chicken)

Ingredients:

2 lbs of you favorite cut of chicken, bone in and skin on (I use drumsticks)

So I want to make this for my family for Sunday nite dinner, and I know they'll love this dish, however my 4 men like something with it, so what would be a good veg and sidedish for this and don't say potato salad which all 4 detest...lol.
